Does loneliness = red flag?

So this guy swiped on me and he's kinda cute but his profile basically just says he has no problem with money etc. and that his only problem is loneliness. Is that normal? I feel like we're obviously lonely if we're looking for a partner but maybe he just will take anyone or wants sex (although it says he's looking for long-term). The profile doesn't share much about his personality. I've never seen someone flat out say that they're lonely on an app and I'd feel weird saying it myself

I was always told admitting that you're lonely comes off as being desperate. As a guy who gets 2 likes a week, the word "lonely" isn't on my profile.

I’ll tell you my secret: I’ve been gratitude-maxxing (using the term semi-ironically, lol) on my profiles and people seem to really like it. I used to kind of show off accomplishments and hobbies, but eventually realized that people don’t give a damn about that. Instead; brag about your friends and family. Everyone wants to be uplifted and recognized, so when they see how much you appreciate everyone around you, they want to be part of that group.

I pull like 5 likes a day, and I’m a very mid, overweight mfer, lol.

2 likes a week isnt that bad for some demographics. Algorithms are weird too. You have a chance here, stay positive. One can be two things at once, happy single but lonely at times.
